GENE FARRIS<\/h5>\n

A global ambassador of Chicago\u2019s classic house music sound, Gene Farris has spiritedly contributed to the evolving house and techno culture of this century. He began playing Acid House, Disco and the classic Chicago style of his peers at a young age, developing a unique sound that lead him to performances at Chicago\u2019s legendary underground warehouse parties of the 90s, and a residency at the Power House. These formative experiences solidified his artistry, launching him into a four year residency in Amsterdam and an eight year residency at Chicago\u2019s infamous Boom Boom Room.<\/p>\n

In 1994 Gene hit the studio with a driving need for innovation and audio exploration. A self-taught engineer and producer, his work with Cajual, Relief Records, Defected Records, Soma Recordings and his own breakout label Farris Wheel Recordings, propelled his influence into ever expanding realms. He has played venues all over the world and massive festival crowds at Coachella, Outside Lands, Firefly, BPM 2015, and is performing at Movement and WMC events this year.<\/p>\n

Strongly engaged with his city, he performed Chicago\u2019s Wavefront Festival in 2012 and ‘2013, hosts \u201cGene Farris & Friends\u201d monthly at Primary, and frequents the booth at Spy Bar. Working closely with fellow Chicago house legend Cajmere, AKA Green Velvet, has resulted in over 15 collaborative singles! \u2018O\u2019Darlin\u2019 from their 2014 Jungle Love EP on Cajual hit number one on TraxSource, with Gene producing 3 additional number one hits that year. He went on to sweep the overall 2014 charts: \u2018Move Your Body\u2019, \u201cRules of Engagement\u201d and \u201cCosmos\u201d took #1, #3 and #5 respectively in top 100 Techno Tracks of the year; \u2018The Way To Go\u2019 topped the Jackin chart at #1 for 2014; \u2018O\u2019 Darlin\u2019 took \u2018#2 in Soulful House, and to top it off, the #3 Album of the year went to \u2018Cosmos\u2019 (Relief Records). <\/p>\n

2015 is all about turning up the momentum. With Gene\u2019s first dirtybird release currently bumping in the clubs, and tracks dropping on Visonquest, Defected, Cajual and Relief this spring, his insatiable drive, talent and love of his craft clearly keep him on the cutting edge, and sharing his wealth of house music with the world.<\/p>\n
